Mention Lift · a note to founders

Hey,
founder.

This one is just for you.

It’s a bit long, and it’s honest. Read it with a coffee, or skip to the offer.

01 · The part nobody posts

Nobody posts about this part.

Late nights. Weekends that stop feeling like weekends. Shipping the product while hunting for the first customers. Watching the runway like a weather forecast.

Chasing the first €1K. Then the first €10K.

And that quiet question at the back of your mind: will this actually work?

02 · Every hat

Sometimes you’re the whole company.

Product. Sales. Marketing. Support. Hiring. Fundraising. All before lunch.

And somewhere in all of that, life still has to happen.

Family. Friends. Sleep. The sacrifices people rarely see.

03 · The hardest part

You can spend a year on something genuinely good and still feel invisible.

Not because it isn’t good. Because the person who needs it asked someone else.

Someone, somewhere, is asking right now
“”
Waiting for the question
1. A famous, well-funded companyRecommended
2. A tool everyone has heard ofRecommended
3. A big name from your categoryMentioned
Your name should be here.?

Building the product is half the job.

Getting found is the rest.

04 · Same boat

We’re in this with you.

I’m a founder too, building MentionX myself, so I know this stage up close. I can’t solve every problem a startup throws at you. Nobody can.

But I can help more people find what you’re building. Including when they ask AI who to trust.

05 · So we made something

A small way to back founders who are still proving the company.

06 · What you’ll finally see

It won’t fix everything. It will let you see.

Does AI know you exist?
When buyers ask about your market, are you mentioned at all?
Who does it recommend instead?
Which competitors keep showing up, and which sources shape those answers.
What should you do first?
A short, ordered list. Not a dashboard to stare at.

Spotting the gap is step one. Knowing what to do next is step two.

You didn’t start a company to stay unknown.

Apply if you’re eligible. We’ll take it from there.
